    Subject: RCS and TeXinfo fighting

    RCS doesn't like "@c" beginning comments, since `@' is an RCS ,v-file
    delimiter, ...

I can't reproduce this.  Yes, @ is a special character in RCS files,
but RCS automatically quotes it when it sees it in a user's file.
See rcsfile(5).  None of this is visible to the user of RCS.

I used the command

rcs -i "-c@c " filename

to create the RCS file with the desired comment string, and everything
worked fine.
